What's the Big Issue?

Off-topic

Hmmm…

So, I’ve noticed where I live in Tonbridge, and where I work in Croydon, and on my old manor, South Norwood, that the archetypal Big Issue seller seems to have disappeared - no more cheeky, odd ball comments from loveable rogue types with stories to tell.

They have all been replaced by Romany women…

Sorry, but did I miss something? Aren’t Romany folk supposed to be homeless, hence their nomadic tendency?

So why are they selling the Big Issue? :wink: :stuck_out_tongue: :smiley:

Funny you should say that, we have this old lady with glasses sells it outside Saino’s or M n S up here, but only just now did I walk past M n S and there was a lady of eastern european lookin origin waving a copy at me, I could be wrong about her origins but she looked Romany to me.

It’s the same round my way!

Better than being forced to have your fortune read or risk being cursed :wink:
